As we hit the midpoint of the year, generator dealers across the country are facing a familiar challenge: how to capture more leads, close more installs, and scale their service agreements before hurricane season and Q4 chaos hit.
In our latest webinar, Mid-Year Checkup: Prepare for Q3/Q4 Lead Flow & Strategy for Generator Dealers, we unpacked exactly how to do that.
Here’s a quick recap of what we covered — and why it matters now more than ever:
1. Big Shifts in the Marketing Landscape
We started by looking at the changing digital marketing environment:
Google is prioritizing local intent and trust signals more than ever.
Consumers are getting savvier — comparing quotes, researching dealers, and looking for social proof before making a decision.
Third-party lead platforms are taking a bigger cut while delivering lower quality leads.
What this means: Dealers need to own their marketing funnel — from visibility to conversion to follow-up.
2. Dominating Google Maps (Not Just Google Search)
Getting found on the map is now more important than ever. We discussed:
Optimizing your Google Business Profile
Getting more photo uploads, reviews, and Q&A activity
How proximity and engagement drive Map Pack visibility
If you’re not showing up for “generator installer near me,” you’re already behind.
3. Fixing Lead Follow-Up and Automation
We broke down how most dealers lose leads, not because of bad traffic — but because of slow or inconsistent follow-up.
The solution? A simple, automated process:
4. Reassessing Budget & Ad Spend for Q3/Q4
Most dealers set their budgets in January — but your competition and market conditions have changed.
Now’s the time to:
Shift spending toward what’s working (Google Local, YouTube, remarketing)
Lean into urgency-based messaging as storm season approaches
Budget for upsells like maintenance plans and battery add-ons
5. Setting (and Hitting) Your Install Goals
We walked attendees through a simple equation:
Install Goal ÷ Close Rate = Lead Goal
Lead Goal ÷ Conversion Rate = Traffic Goal
This kind of reverse planning helps make goals actionable — and keeps your team focused.
